Ok I have a Nvidia TNT2 M64 32MB vid card and in BIOS the AGP setting is at 64 and the only other setting is 256... so my question is... What would happen/change if I changed the setting to 256.... Would I gain anything? Lose anything? what does this setting mean anyway? and is there anything i could do to get better performance out of this card? like O/C it? I have a program called TNT Clock but it doesnt seem to do much the Core is set to 140Mhz and Memory is at 150Mhz and it seems to do nothing when i raise it or lower it.... any and all help appreciated.... Thanks :)

If it's a tnt card you can you the detonator drivers ( version 22.5 works best for me). then install a small tool called coolbits. after that you can raise the core and RAM speeds of your card to OC it. Use a benchmark program like 3D Mark 2000 or 2001 to check your progress. U can find the benchmarkprograms at www.madonion.com As far as the other stuff I don't have a link but I'd check the drivers section of the forum.

Hope this is a help

the other setting youre talking about is the agp aperture size if i understood well. its the amount of system memory will be released to the graphics card to work with. you can safely play with it.
try getting one of the 3dmarks foxmulder talked about and cahnge then the agp aperture size to check which setting will be better for u. it will highly depend the amount of both video card memory and system memory you have: the best way to be sure about it is just benchmarking the different settings.
